Comments Thread For: Spike O'Sullivan Rejects Golovkin Offer, Out of The Running

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eric Gomez, the president of Golden Boy Promotions has advised BoxingScene.com that Spike O'Sullivan is no longer in the running to face unified middleweight champion Gennady Gololvkin, on May 5th. Gomez explained to BoxingScene - "Ultimately, short time, short money. Two negatives don't make a positive, here. So he's not going to do the fight. He'd have three weeks to get ready for Golovkin and he wants to win.

"Spike is a star and we're going to expose him here in the U.S. as a star," said Gomez."The guy has star potential, he's got a good style and we're going to keep him busy because eventually, yes he's going to fight Golovkin or 'Canelo'."

I call BS on that he's a star comment I hope he washed his hands after he pulled that out of his @$$!!

Lmao......

The two words 'short money' are why no-one else would take it either. Sure, Andrade, Deverevyanchenko and co. put up their hands, but when they come across the words 'short money', its sayonara.

GBP basically saying **** off to Golovkin.

Fight somebody decent you ****ing hypejob.

The big showdown for peanuts

Seems like a choice is being forced upon Golovkin, either abandon his belts or a multi-million dollar pay day.

Under the circumstances, GGG (anyone for that matter) will go for the 10's of millions and give up the belts. Win and he's the money man (with or without the belts) and lose he still made another 15 million. It's a no brainer

If Golovkin walks from the belts and Canelo refuses to fight the remaining MW's they'll be forced to fight each other for whatever they can generate. I don't see how this plays out any other way, especially After all the noise and demands they've been making.


According to the sanctioning bodies it looks like BJS will be forced to fight Andrade, Devevyanchenko will be forced to fight Charlo and the winner will face Jacobs.

The big showdown for peanuts I expect Devevyanchenkoergiy to get eliminated quick followed by BJS then Andrade and the last men standing should be Charlo VS Jacobs.

Golden Boy doesn't want GGG to fight anyone until after the rematch, he'll be forced to walk from the belts.
